Abstract
A passenger tray table includes at least two hingedly connected table sections, and is operable to move between at least three positions: 1) a stowed mounting position against a fore positioned monument, where the tray table stows at an angle relative to vertical, and a top portion of the tray table is closer to the passenger than a lower portion of the passenger tray table in the stowed position, 2) a first operative position, where a front table section of the tray table lowers into a horizontal position, while the rear table section remains in the angled stowed position, and 3) a second operative position, where the front table section is disposed closer to the passenger while the rear table section of the passenger tray table is lowered to a horizontal position, in line with the front table section to provide a contiguous table surface.
